The German wolf packs, known as "Wolfgang," were strategic naval formations used by the German U-boat fleet during World War II. These groups of submarines would operate together to target Allied shipping, employing coordinated attacks to overwhelm convoy defenses. The tactic aimed to maximize the effectiveness of U-boat strikes against merchant vessels in the Atlantic, contributing significantly to the Battle of the Atlantic. The use of wolf packs proved both effective and devastating early in the war but was eventually countered by improved anti-submarine warfare tactics from the Allies.

Wolf Packs were groups of German U-boats that used coordinated hunting tactics to harass and sink Allied convoys during WWII.
There were no surface ships in a U-boat wolf pack. (The submarines, like American subs, were called, "Boats".) The smallest wolf packs were 2 to 4 submarines, while the largest wolf packs could contain up to 20 submarines. The size of the wolf packs always depended on what their commander, Karl Doenitz wanted them to do.

This is true. A wolf pack was a tactical unit of a group of submarines, not a type of submarine. German submarines were generically called U-boats for Undersea boats - literal German translation.
